An idea for Beastmen Currency

It's a subject that's been brought up a few times, and eventually we were told that they didn't have anything currently planned for it at all.

Assuming this is still the case, there's no harm in discussing ideas that you think would be a good use of the currency. Let's hear them.

Personally, I think it should be something as simple as letting us exchange the currency for Grand Company marks.

As it stands, we have seven types of currency.

Amalj'aa, Ixali, Kobold, Sylph, Sahagin (not currently obtainable, but in the files), Goblin, and Qiqirin.

You could break most of those down into specific regions based on beastmen that inhabit the regions, as well as materials that would seem "useful" to the companies lore-wise.

Amalj'aa and Qiqirin currency could be exchanged with the Immortal Flames.
Kobold and Sahagin could be exchanged with the Maelstrom.
Sylph and Ixali could be exchanged with the Twin Adders.
Goblin cogs could be a universal currency, exchangeable at all companies.

It wouldn't have to be anything huge, either. There are currently three tiers of currency, so each could have a scaling amount of marks rewarded.

Tier 1 currency: 5 Grand Company seals per coin
Tier 2 currency: 20 Grand Company seals per coin
Tier 3 currency: 50 Grand Company seals per coin

It'd certainly beat holding onto them. I was hoping there'd be a few options - desynth them into stuff, use them at the strongholds to get past doors / buy stuff, etc.

I think trading them into the companies like, "Hey, check it out, I kicked some ass and stole their lunch money. Gimme some seals." would be good for the war effort.

Or future instanced battles only like bcnm and ksnm stuff inspired like ffxi.

Yeah, I'd like to see some content like that in this game. It doesn't even have to just be a 30 min battle - maybe mini-instanced raids or something.

I approve of all the ideas involving beastmen currency. So much potential!

They're the proof you owned ennemies of the Cities, someone should definitely offer a reward. The beastmen themselves should be interested, they can definitely find a use for them, it's their currency. And no, what NPCs offer when you sell them is not a reward, it's saying "I don't really give a eff about your weird coins, take these 5 gils and stop bothering me!"

I might never find a use for them, but I'll keep every beastmen coin I find, just in case.
